How make menu button with unrolling thumbnails in as 3.0??

Hello
I need help with doing a menu with unrolling and rolling up buttons with thumbnails; now I have someting like that (attachments) this was made by as 2.0 but I need help with changing this on as 3.0.
if samobody have some ideas how can I do this or somting similar using as 3.0 I will be grateful

The only way to convert it to AS3 is to go thru it and replace the code as needed. While some code may not have to change, quite a bit of it will. Your best bet for getting thru it is to build it up from scratch one object at a time and get each coded as you go. Otherwise you will be overwhelmed with error messages. Here's a few pointers.
All code is AS3 has to be placed on the timeline. You cannot place code "on()" objects. So each object needs an instance name.
Any interaction or event handling such as mouse controls and file loading involve event listener/event handler pairs. So you will want to start with looking into the addEventListener() method, which is pretty much used globally for any/all event processing.
When it comes to loading external swf files, you want to use the Loader class.
To determinine how to make the code work, I recommend using a practice file. A file that you can implement one codig sequence in at a time just to determine what works.
Converting this to AS3 will be a good exercise for you on the road to learning it. When I wanted to start learning AS3 that's pretty much what I did, though with the sole purpose of the learning as my goal. I took a fairly complicated menu design that I had created first in AS2, and then rebuilt it from the ground up using AS3.

Working with mouse events in Strobe's Widget classes

I'm adding a caption on/off toggle button (classname CaptionButton) to the ControlBar class of Strobe Media Playback 1.5.1, and I'm having a difficult time understanding how mouse events are passed to child widgets of a ButtonWidget. In my CaptionButton class (which extends ButtonWidget), I add an instance of another widget, ListWidget, that extends Widget, and I show/hide this ListWidget with a mouse click event in the CaptionButton. The ListWidget is a composite class with a List component from Flash CS5, and the cell renderers in the List component do not respond to mouse events (over, selected, etc). How do I enable this type of mouse interaction within a Widget class? With the VolumeWidget, it looks like all mouse events are recreated and then controls are manually positioned according to the event properties, but this would be rather difficult with a component that has a virtual layout like List component. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
-Robert

Ok, found that WidgetHint sets mouseChildren = false, etc. But I have a new problem---how do I stop autoHide timer while the user is interacting with a child widget? I was looking at the VolumeWidget that is used from the MuteButton widget, but I don't see how it stops the autoHide timer from enacting.

Trying to create a surface with multiple images with mouse events

novice programmer (for a applet program)
hi trying to create a surface i.e jpanel, canvas, that allows multiple images to be created.
Each object is to contain a image(icon) and a name associated with that particular image. Then each image+label has a mouse event that allows the item to be dragged around the screen.
I have tried creating own class that contains a image and string but I having problems.
I know i can create a labels with icons but having major problems adding mouse events to allow each newly created label object to moved by the users mouse?
if any one has any tips of how to acheive this it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi JN,
I have created a Frame which has some checkboxes , a button and text field. when i check some checkboxes and press the Button (ie in my program Metrics level Button ) it should display the result as number of checkboxes that are checked divided by total number of chechboxes. ie if i check some 6 check boxes and press the Metrics level button it should display 6 divided by 12 ie 0.5 in the Result Textfield.
I am sending the code i have written.

Hi.
I recenly bought Macbook and as I am new to Apple word I don't know anything about the OS.
I was trying to download Mp3 from the internet today and I just could not. when I am using PC I just click the right button and save the link or file.
Please help me. Any idea how to download MP3?

I had been downloading from that site for many times but from PC. When I use the left button on mouse it will take me to the internet player on my PC but if I use the right button I have to choose 'save file as' and then I save it.
But on MACbook when I use two fingers on my trackpad there is only few options like and one of them is 'save link as' but not 'save file as'

How to control timleline with mouse x coordinates

Hi,
Does anyone know a good tutorial on how to create a movie with a sequence of pictures and controlling the timeline frames with mouse x-coordinates?
Regards,
MH

basiclly,these swfs didn't work in mailtimeline movies.some of them were created by flash3D .
the point is some functions what created mouseX & DisplayMovies mapping like this
function mouseMoveH(e){
          displayrender()
function mapping(){
     return fun(mouseX)
function displayrender(){
    showFrame(mapping)

How can I disable any mouse event while is another is processing?

Hi!
I've a problem and I need some help.
I'm downloading an image in the MouseAdapter's mouseClicked method. So I need to disable any other mouse events produced durring this download. These events can be removed from the queue or is there is any way to disable entering mouse events to the queue while another one is processing?
If anyone can halp me, thanks a lot.

Interesting situation. I would suggest that the downloading be done on another thread; long processes shouldn't be handled on the swing thread in most situations. Then to stop the mouse events you'd simply disable the component that has the mouse listener until the image has finished loading. That way these events will be processed and discarded while the image is loading.
ie,
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
final Component source = (Component)e.getSource;
source.setEnabled(false); //stop further mouse events.
new Thread()
      public void run()
         loadImage(); //should not return until image is loaded
         source.setEnabled(true);
}Hope that helps. :)

How to add buttons with links to different pages in my flash document?

Hi I created a template for my flash animation which is a simple content box and a scroll bar beside it.. Anyway at the top I also have 3 pages (they are currently just part of the png background image so they are not buttons of any sort).. My question is how can I make links to these different pages so when clicked in the flash animation they will just open normally like they would in like a website..
I am a flash beginner so I'm not too technical with it... I don't know if I would have to create 3 seperate documents for my 3 pages or something else?
Thanks!

Do you expect the loaded SWF to load "into" the SWF that contains the buttons or are you expecting it to overwrite the existing SWF you're already in (similar to a web page)?
Loading a SWF inside is pretty straight forward, as long as the SWF is on the same domain or the domain you're loading from has a crossdomain.xml policy allowing it and the SWF is set to publish with the networking sandbox:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
// listen for completion
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleCompleteF);
// usually add some IOErrorEvent or SecurityErrorEvent handlers here
// button hook here
myButtonInstanceName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadPageF);
function loadPageF(e:MouseEvent):void
     // try to load
     try
          myLoader.load(new URLRequest('another.swf'));
     catch (e:*)
          // catch any error, trace it to flash IDE for debugging
          trace("Error loading SWF: " + e);
function handleCompleteF(e:Event):void
     // success, add to display list
     addChild(myLoader);
Season to taste, like moving the position of the Loader object. The Loader will contain the SWF in the .content property (e.g. myLoader.content) and is a display object so you can just add it directly to the display list.
If you add a second button you can re-use the myLoader to .load() a different SWF, just point it to a new function. You could re-use the same function but you'd need to detect the different buttons (possibly via the .name property). I presume you might want to do "different things" when different pages are loaded so I'm assuming you'd probably use a different function rather than make a huge reused branching function.
More info on Loader with sample code here:

Thank you for the Code. Now I am able to set the label border. I need to figure out how keep track of the last selected component so that I can reset the border.**g**
No, you have still fundamental misunderstood how listeners are working. You add a listener to a component. From this time on, this listener is watching this component. It listens if something occurs with this component therefor it is competent. If so, then it will pay attention to this. So the listener always knows the components it is in charge of. There is no need for you to "keep track of the last selected component" because the listener is doing this for you already.

} You also should read again the Java Tutorial about Concurrency in Swing. Especially why and how to separate the initial thread form the event dispatch thread. [http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/concurrency/initial.html]
Also have a look on [http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/focus.html], especially [http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/focus.html#focusable] for why use the MouseListener too.
And if you have understood that all, then you may think about in what way it would be much easier to use JButton's instead of JLabel's for your clickable and focusable thumbnails.

JSwing code errors with mouse over

Basically this code is set up to change the background of Jtextfield when the Jtextfield contains the cursor. But, it seems that i have issues because it only works if the cursor is in the upper corner of my window frame. I think it has something to do with my hiearchy, but am unsure how to fix.. help will greatly be apreciated.
its in two seperate class files by the way.
import javax.swing.*;
public class yahtzeeTest
      public static void main(String[] args)
     tes menu=new yahtzee();
     JFrame appFrame=new JFrame();
     appFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
     appFrame.setContentPane(menu);
     appFrame.pack();
     appFrame.show();
// seperate file
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
public class testeld extends JPanel implements ActionListener, MouseMotionListener
     private static int      panelW = 400,
                              panelH=350;
     JTextField tf[]=new JTextField[2];
     Point cursor;
     public testeld()
     setPreferredSize(new Dimension(panelW, panelH));
     setLayout(null);
     addMouseMotionListener(this);
     setBackground(Color.red);
          for(int i=0; i<2;i++)
          tf=new JTextField( "",i);
          tf[i].setBounds(200, (30+(26*i)), 30,20);
          tf[i].setEnabled(false);
          add(tf[i]);
          tf[i].addActionListener(this);
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
          Object src = ae.getSource();
     public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
          super.paintComponent(g);
          Graphics2D g2=(Graphics2D)g;
     public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent me)
     int x=me.getX();
     int y=me.getY();
     this.cursor =new Point(x, y);
     for(int i=0; i<tf.length; i++)
          if(tf[i].contains(cursor))
               tf[i].setBackground(Color.yellow);
          else
               tf[i].setBackground(Color.white);
     public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent me){}

1) Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
2) I would use the mouseEntered, mouseExited events to set/reset the background.
3) Why did you overried paintComponent()

How do you map a mouse events coordinates to the coordinates of a chart or graph?

I'm using LabView 6.1 on Win XP Pro. I'm trying to highlight points on a graph picked (by using a mouse click) by a user. The mouse click event returns x,y in pixels relative to the upper left corner. I know the upper left corner of my control. I also know the width and height of the plotting area within the control, but I don't know the position of the plotting area within the control. Without that piece of info, I can't do the mapping.

Hi,
You May Want to do this a bit Differently but achieve the same Goal i.e. the user Picks Points on a Graph and you highlight these points and Draw A graph or impart some other functionality.
Here is an idea -
1. Let the User Position the Cursor on the Point they want. To aid the user you can make the cursor legend visible which shows the X and Y Axis values for the cursor. To accuartely Position the User can use the the 4 Buttons that are a part of the Cursor Legend.
2. Put a Button next to the graph saying "Select this Point"
3. After Positioning the Cursor when the user Clicks this Button you use the "Cursor Position" Property of the graph to extract the value of the cursor.
4. Next you may want to add this Point to Cluster Array which displays
the Points on the Graph. If this Array is Empty and you add this one Element to the Graph then this Point will be Visible. The User may now reposition to another Point and Repeat the Process.
5. To aid the user you may want to Provide " Delete last Point" and "Clear All" Buttons. The Functionality is to Delete Last Element in array or Clear all Elements in the Array.
The Structure of this whole routine probably is Event Structure(to trap Button Clicks "Select", "Delete" etc) Inside a Case Structure (State Machine to Perform the Operations User Clicked) All Inside a While Loop.
This is a Short Description of how this Functionality can be Built. To Automatically Extract Cursor position from the Graph and then try to Map it to Coordiante Axis For a Point is More Involved and a Little Convoluted.
Why not keep it simple? IF anything is unclear, I will be glad to explain or post an example (Only if time permits!!)
Good Luck

How to Code SWFObject with Alternate Content

I've read umpteen tutorials and articles on embedding Flash
with alternate content, and they're all too different, confusing,
and unsuccessful. All I want to do is insert a JPEG to replace my
Flash movie on non-Flash browsers but have no idea how or where to
code it. I don't want to get into xml or div IDs (if I don't have
to)... just a simple-as-possible, idiot-proof solution for a
beginner like myself.
Here is my Flash object...
<td width="400" height="240">
<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="

height="240" width="400">
<param name="movie" value="images/flashintro.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="best" />
<param name="play" value="true" />
<embed height="240" pluginspage="

</object>
</td>
Thanks.

AIR app that generates it for you:

The body code will look like something like this:

How create a button with a certain size??

hi
the button I create need to have a image icon, and the size of it should remain the same no matter what happen to the size of the frame or panel. by the way, how do I calculate the size of a image I need to set to a button at run time? thank you.

first copy and run this code, may sure u r connected to internet..
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.*;
public class JButtonExample extends JFrame {
JPanel jPanel1 = new JPanel();
JButton jButton1 = new JButton();
public JButtonExample() {
    try {
       jButton1.setMargin(new Insets(0, 0, 0, 0));
       URL r = new URL("http://developer.java.sun.com/images/javalogo52x88.gif");
       jButton1.setIcon(new ImageIcon(r));
       jPanel1.add(jButton1);
       this.getContentPane().add(jPanel1, BorderLayout.NORTH);
    catch(Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    pack();
    show();
public static void main(String[] args) {
    JButtonExample JButtonExample1 = new JButtonExample();
}good luck
